Early Termination Clause:
Employee will owe XXX（company). the following early termination fees as

Employee will owe $5000 if he leaves in 2 months of employment; Employee
will owe $3000 if he leaves in 3 months of employment; Employee will owe $
2000 if he leaves in 4 months of employment; and Employee will owe $1000 if
he leaves in 5 months of employment.
Non-Competition:
Commencing from the first date of Employee's engagement by XXX and
continuing for a period of one (1) year from the date of termination of this
Agreement, notwithstanding the reason for termination of Employee's
engagement, Employee agrees it will not directly or indirectly provide
information technology services to any of XXX's current clients at which
Employee was engaged, without first obtaining the express written permission
of XXX. Employee agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Employee
will not enter into, be engaged
in, or be interested in any capacity whatsoever, directly or indirectly, in
any business or undertaking which directly competes with that of XXX in
regard to the specific manager of XXX's clients at which Employee has been
or is engaged by virtue of this Agreement.
Liquidated Damages.
Employee acknowledges that failure to perform services agreed to under this
Agreement can jeopardize XXX’s client relationship. Employee confirms that
he/she will perform services as noted on attached
TERM SCHEDULE and is available to begin the assignment on the agreed upon
date and, where the assignment is at least two weeks in duration, continue
on assignment for no less than ten (10) business days. If Employee does not
start the assignment on the agreed-upon date or, where the assignment is at
least two weeks in duration, revokes
this Agreement within the first ten (10) business days of the start date
then Employee shall be liable to XXX for liquidated damages of $5,000.00. In
the event XXX incurs any legal fees in collection of liquidated damages,
the legal fees will be deemed as additional liquidated damages to be paid by
Employee to XXX. |

发帖数: 80 | 3 non compete, 基本上就是contractor不能变成full time.这个可以接受。
liqidate damage,就是接受合同得至少做满十天，不然罚钱，这个我以前没见过，不过
十天也可以接受了。
early termination fee,要做满5个月，这个匪夷所思了。看来这合同变卖身契了。。
。不想签了。

这一条显然是故意卡你，如果倒时候人家想要你full time
他们不敢管的，否则公司以后不跟他们合作了
但是如果你签了合同，。。。

变成全职当然可以，只是不能绕开中介。中介是要提成的。估计是你年薪的三到五成。

发帖数: 80 | 6 这个我还可以接受，最多有了工作经验之后换家公司就可以了，但是early
termination fee就太过分了，还有工作不给人走的啊?我做的不爽还不能走啊，这个太
霸王条约了，完全违反at will了。

发帖数: 14021 | 7 这个法律上不知和合不合适，不过对你很亏。
争取把这个去掉。 最多最多给他们一个月的advanced notice, increased from 2
weeks。
需要的话，我明天可以帮你问一下我的中介，看看这个正不正常。

发帖数: 80 | 9 我觉得法律上说不通，但毕竟要签自己名字，慎重为妙。虽然offer拿来不容易，但还
是不想签这样的卖身契。
谢谢帮忙，如果你可以问你的中介的话就最好了，我自己确实也不了解。谢了。

发帖数: 14021 | 10 直接贴我中介的原话。
This type of early termination clause is usual included in a contract if the
agency assisted the candidate with relocation expenses or incurred other
upfront expenses such as training or special services for the Consultant. If
that is not the case, it is highly unusual to have a penalty clause. Your
friend should ask the agency what their motivation is. Typically both
parties agree to a proper notice to end the contract (unless the client
terminates for cause, etc.) It is employment at will, not an employment
contract. Candidates typically do not leave a contract early because of
their reputation with the agency and the client. If something unforeseen
happens, they need an option to leave the assignment.
